"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, China and India have developed by basically sitting down and ensuring that they come up with policies and methodologies that actually suit their countries. These countries have developed because they have ensured that all their development budgets are labour intensive. China, India and Malaysia have developed by ensuring that they solve their employment by having their own companies that actually employ their own people. America today, just as I have quoted, they have pumped trillions of dollars into companies, for example, General Motors, to ensure that they do not go under, irrespective of whether they had been mismanaged. Why are they doing so? This is because they employ and keep the Americans having an affordable life. That is what President Obama has done. These policies were borrowed from 1933 during President F.D. Rooseveltâs time. What has this country done? We can continue voting more money on development budget but it has no benefit to this country, it will have no benefit to this country until there are policies that actually ensure that our own people are surviving and their lives are entrenched in whatever is happening. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Bill I have before this House today is the Bill I believe emanates from a basic principle, whether this country is ever going to wake up and face the reality facing and come up with polices that are not dictated on us; policies that are not going to be uploaded in Washington and New York. But, these are the policies that have seen China come to its current state; a giant and a threat of the West. I will call upon the clergy once again, to be on the frontline on matters like this which are affecting this country."
